American Club Foundation (ACF), Hong Kong

The American Club Foundation: #StrongerTogether

In 2017, the American Club (AC) Board of Directors made a strategic decision to enhance the impact of the AC Club Community resources allocated to support charitable initiatives in Hong Kong.

After a year of careful planning, the American Club Foundation (ACF) was established in 2019, and we have been dedicated to helping Hong Kong thrive ever since. By 2021, we went from a start up charity to receiving our Section 88 charitable status from the Hong Kong government.
